Built-in accuracy programs or special designs can also improve results. The arm cuff plays an important role in accuracy. Look for easy-wrap cuffs with a snug fit. This keeps the cuff firmly positioned in place, further ensuring the accuracy of results.
Other home blood pressure monitors do this work for you. Most cuffs are measured in inches. If getting a quick reading so you can go on with your day is important, consider a quick-reading monitor.
Although you may know your desired numbers, having a little help can come in handy. Models with multicolored lights can show how your reading compares to normal results. For a more complete view of your heart health, go with a monitor that shows your pulse along with your blood pressure. How the results are displayed matters. Simple white digits on a black background make it easy to see your numbers. Black digits on a gray background might be a little tougher. See if you can take multiple readers on the same unit.
If someone living with you also needs to conduct regular blood pressure checks, the unit can switch back and forth, even storing the information.
Some monitors link up to smartphone apps that store your information. Unfortunately, this means you have to sync your data every time if you want to maintain an up-to-date history of each of your readings. If connectivity is important to you, set your sights on a monitor with Bluetooth connections and smart home compatibility. Durability is worth considering if you want to get the most bang for your buck. Devices with simple builds can be better for long-lasting reliability.
Another benefit to self-pump devices is that you can calibrate them yourself. If you plan to take your device on the go with you, consider a compact and wireless monitor. This makes it easy to tuck into your bag and use anywhere. Check and see what kind of batteries your monitor might need and stock up on them before you spend your money.
The unit is intended for use in measuring blood pressure and pulse rate in adult patient population. Do not use on infants. Changes or modifications not approved by Omron Healthcare will void the user warranty. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the unit or components. Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Put your left arm through the cuff loop. The cuff tab should lie over the brachial artery on the inside of the arm.
Pull the cuff so that it is tightened evenly around your arm. Insert one finger under cuff to check fit. Press the sewn hook material firmly against the pile side of the cuff. Make sure that your skin will not be pinched in the D-ring once you inflate the cuff. Immediately deflate the cuff and readjust it if skin becomes pinched. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and place your left arm on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart.
Turn the monitor on, and after the Ready To Measure Symbol appears next to a zero on the digital panel, rapidly squeeze the inflation bulb to inflate the cuff. Stop pumping when the numbers on the display are approximately 40 mmHg higher than your normal systolic blood pressure. Do not inflate over mmHg. The cuff will begin to deflate automatically. As the cuff deflates, decreasing numbers appear on the display. The Heart Symbol flashes at every heartbeat. When measurement is complete, the Heart Symbol stops flashing and your blood pressure and pulse rate are displayed alternately.
Every time you complete the measurement, the monitor automatically stores blood pressure and pulse rate. Movement during Measurement No pulse or blood pressure reading due to very weak artery pulse. Residual air pressure in cuff. Cuff over-inflated more than mmHg. Batteries have run down. Correction Wait minutes and take another measurement.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. The monitor cuff is warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship appearing within one year, when the monitor is used in accordance with the instructions provided with the monitor.
